Troublesome purchase

[michellebartley]

I wanted to purchase an item of clothing from seller in USA, the listing had the shipping cost on it, when I went to checkout to pay, I got a message in red saying seller wont post to your address, I contacted Ebay about it on the live chat and they weren't very helpful, now I have the order sitting there saying "pay now". Any ideas what to do? 😂

Ask the seller to cancel the transaction.

Given the current situation with airfreight and your predelictions re delivery times, I suggest you don't buy anything from overseas for at least the next 3 months.

The seller has probably decided that they don't want the risks involved at this time. Or it was GSP, and Pitney Bowes has decided not to post to Australia at this time.

Possibly. I need an exemption but that could take a while.

[lyndal1838]

What sort of exemption Michelle?

[michellebartley]

When the exemption regarding shipping to me is removed from the listing. Which could take a day or so possibly. These exemptions do pop up on listing's occasionally, but not often. Item #293043463093

There you go, it is a GSP item.

Which means the seller may not be comfortable exempting you. The decision seems to have been made by PB.

For over $60, surely you could find a local screenprinter to make one for you.

I just tried to do a purchase locally and am unable to so someway Ebay has blocked me. Mind you I'm trying to make purchase on my touch phone. Peculiar. A message comes up saying error, try later.

Just rang Ebay, they are not taking any calls at present.

The call entre has been closed for a while now.....only contact is live chat.
